Date/time are almost correct just offset by 12 hours. The first month I had the K10D I forgot to set the date/time. I don't know why, because IIRC, it prompts you to set time-zone & date/time the first time you start it up. Either it had already been started before I got it or I blithely passed over that step. It was almost a month before I noticed the date was off, and it took me three or four tries over a six month period before I finally got the date/time set correctly. I believe eastern time in the U.S. is the default time-zone. I haven't found a way to correct the date/time in the EXIF that doesn't change the file date (to the date when I'm trying to make the correction). Once you've screwed it up one or the other is always going to be wrong. -- Science - Questions we may never find answers for.
